Burgess Hill will host a summer festival over nine days in June.

The festival includes a whole host of events including walks and talks, music and dance, art and literature, special activities for different age groups, as well as events for families and the whole community.

The festival is co-ordinated by Burgess Hill Town Council, with contributions from individuals, local groups and businesses. Most of the events are free, and the others have low ticket prices.

The festival kicks off on Saturday June 1 with a pirates and princesses fun day.
